Labor Secretary Tweets 'America's Economy Firing on All Cylinders'

Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta spent Labor Day visiting the Chicago branch of the nation's largest police union — and posting several tweets praising President Donald Trump’s job-focused policies.

"Our nation's brave members of law enforcement work on the front lines each day to protect Americans," Acosta wrote in a Twitter picture of his visit to the National Fraternal Order of Police.

In one labor-themed tweet, Acosts wrote "pro-growth policies have America's economy firing on all cylinders," while another touted efforts to transition people from jails to jobs that also help "job creators grow the economy."

Still another praised the administration's "job-driven education."

The upbeat messaging followed Trump's earlier tweet attacks on AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, the head of the nation's largest federation of labor unions — a rebuke of Trumka's criticism of Trump's labor policies during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
